As a former ATHENA Award recipient, I was delighted to join the @gwvchamber to celebrate our 2026 honoree, Stacy Kile 🎊🎉Recognized for her passion for service and empowering others to lead and contribute, she carries that same purpose-driven guidance into her leadership role at Geisinger Healthplan and on the many nonprofit boards on which she serves. She is well-known for mentoring women of all ages both at work and as a community volunteer.

25 years ago, as we shifted through the smoking rubble and dealt with the shock and devastating terrorist attacks of 9/11, we knew America would be forever changed. The images of destruction have not faded. The pain of loss has not subsided. Sadness still shadows our hearts and minds.

We were shaken out of our false sense of security. We were shocked that people of evil intent could kill so many good people on our soil. We were awed by the extraordinary courage of ordinary people summoned in moments of gravest peril. We were inspired by the countless first responders who ignored catastrophic danger to courageously attempt to save lives and recover victims.

Today’s 25th Anniversary 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony hosted by @luzernecommunitycollege recounted the life story of NYPD Vincent G. Danz, as told by his brother Felix, who shared a powerful message about courage, conviction and character of a man taken to soon. We will Never Forget. 🕊️

Today, we should take time to recount all that is right in America. Even at a time when there is doubt and distrust across our nation, the truth remains that we are blessed with the rights and privileges assured to us under our democracy. We still have work to do to fulfill the pledges we solemnly made to the thousands of victims of 9/11. For all that remains to be done, Let’s Roll. 🇺🇸❤️

Visiting the Huber Breaker Preservation Society’s Miners Memorial Heritage Park was inspiring. A tribute to anthracite miners, the park is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Huber Breaker and the workers who powered our region’s coal industry. The passion behind the restoration is evident, and the progress made so far is truly remarkable. 🚂 ⛏️

Darlene Glynn was recently honored upon her retirement from the Human Resources Center after 42 years of dedicated service. A longtime advocate for individuals with disabilities, her tenure with HRC began in 1984, where she held a variety of positions prior to becoming the CEO. Throughout her career, Darlene strove to adhere to the highest standards of service and rightly earned the respect and admiration of her many friends and colleagues. She led with integrity helping to expand programs and services, and we wish her well as she embarks on her next chapter.

@dallastownship completed construction on a new salt shed in time for the winter season. Not only will this project provide space to store and protect equipment, but it will also allow the road department to acquire a much larger supply of storm maintenance materials improving their response during inclement weather. Investments like this strengthen public assets and support essential services that people count on.

More than a day off, Labor Day is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of workers who provide for their families and allow communities to thrive. I’m committed to helping these workers keep more of what they earn.

I hope you have a great holiday weekend ☀️

Recently, Representative Jeff Olsommer and I visited @njy.camps in Milford, where we toured their new state-of-the-art wastewater treatment system, a $3 million investment to help protect the Sawkill Stream and local water quality. The facility is part of NJY Camps, which operates numerous facilities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey dedicated to cultivating a warm, inclusive community where campers build independence and form lasting relationships 🏕️🌲

The @railtrailnepa is dedicated to developing recreational trails to enhance the quality of life for people who live in, work near, or visit the Endless Mountains 🌄. State funds were used to stabilize the Starrucca Creek bank and restore a section of the D&H Trail, which was impacted by flooding. A tremendous step forward in completing the 38-mile, fully connected system, the project will maintain year-round public access 🚴🏼‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️and preserve the ecological value of the wetlands 🌿🦆. It is also important in connecting communities and welcoming visitors who support local businesses.

A special sculpture honoring the memory of Jon “Chuck” Burdick was part of the ribbon cutting ceremony. A well-known rail enthusiast and historian who served on the boards of the Susquehanna County Library and Historical Society and the D&H Rail-Trail, he shared his knowledge and passion through public presentations and scenic tours.

It was a privilege to participate in AMVETS Hanover Post 59’s time capsule burial as they observed their 80th anniversary. The capsule, sealed with memories and milestones, will remain unopened until 2046, when they celebrate 100 years.

Over the years, AMVETS Post 59’s members and volunteers have stepped into key leadership roles and contributed tremendously to the post’s growth, service and development. Their commitment continues to shape and strengthen the community they proudly serve 🇺🇸

Serving as the fire company’s main fundraiser, the annual Triton Hose Company Carnival is one of the largest in northeastern Pennsylvania. This year’s parade was one of the wettest ever, but there were plenty of rides and top-notch entertainment. Of course, the Triton food stand had everyone lined up for a taste of their famous pizza.
It was great to see the community come together once again to enjoy summer activities and support our local volunteers.

I was grateful for the opportunity to join members of the Lake Wallenpaupack Historical Society for their open house and ice cream social as part of centennial celebrations at the lake. My office presented a citation from the Pennsylvania Senate recognizing this milestone during a commemorative ceremony at Palmyra Township Public Beach. Both events brought together community members, local history, and plenty of summer spirit. Cheers to another 100 years!

I was pleased to take part in National Night Out celebrations in Dallas Township, Newport Township, and Dingman Township. The annual community-building day has acted to bring a sense of camaraderie between our neighborhoods and Law Enforcement

Thank you to the many first responders who organize special activities and events like these, and for all the hard work they do throughout our communities every day of the year!

Troop P Camp Cadet is a one-week law enforcement experience unlike any other, providing an opportunity for young men and women to see what resources go into criminal justice and inspiring many to follow in the footsteps of our uniformed protectors.

I joined Representative Brenda Pugh and Wyoming County District Attorney Joe Peters in speaking about public service and civic responsibility as cadets devoted a day to exploring “The Role of Elected Officials in our Communities.”

I also shared my “Vanishing Voter” presentation, emphasizing the importance of active citizenship, engaging in our democracy, and recognizing that every vote truly matters. It was inspiring to see the next generation of leaders discover how they can shape the future and make a meaningful impact.
